Duluth Timber's Douglas fir and Western red cedar

Duluth Timber donated storied antique wood salvaged from a Jolly Time popcorn warehouse and from a Marine barracks in California.

It was an amazing community-wide effort, with a killer construction schedule. We were happy to do our small part in such a monumental undertaking.
